All Sold.

Thanks everyone.


I have 0 left (now)Camponotus queens that are looking for a new home.
They have 3-5 workers and brood. They were all caught last spring or summer and did very well through there hybernation.
The are in a 17mm wide test tube. This is the same size as AC uses for there set up.

I am asking $75 for each colony.

WA residents only please.

depends on what species of camponotus and the fact that they come only in the test tube. i think it would be a little more reasonable if they were in some small formicarium but that just my opinion. I'm sure someone will buy them from him, atleast once he adds his location to his profile that is

I used to sell Camponotus queens with workers in test tubes for 50 a piece, I sell them now for 75 a piece. I wasn't making anything, and frequently would lose money in the end at 50 a piece.
